BAMdialogue with Robyn Nevin & Andrew Upton Mar 2 at 6pm BAM Rose Cinemas Tickets: $8 ($4 for Friends of BAM) Brook lyn, NY/January 27, 2006 --Academy Award-winning actress Cate Blanchett (The Avia tor, Eli:::abeth,The Talented Mr. Ripley) makes her U.S. stage debut in the highly acclaimed Sydney Theatre Company production of Henrik Ibsen 's Hedda Gabler, also featuring the U.S. stage debut of renowned actor Hugo Weaving (The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix trilogi es). Adapted by Andrew Upton and directed by Sydney Theatre Compan y Artistic Director Robyn Nevin, Hedda Gabler premiered at Sydney Theatre Company's Wharf 1 Theater on July 27, SPRING 2004, where it enjoyed a sold-out run. BAM will present the production with its original cast-Cate Blanchett, Annie Byron, Justine Clarke, Julie Hamilton, Hugo Weaving, Anthony Weigh, and Aden Young--coinciding with a 2006 worldwide centennial celebration oflbsen's work. One of Ibsen's most compelling and conflicted characters, Hedda Gabler is an aristocratic woman aching to be free of her middle-class husband and yet terrified of scandal. As portrayed by Blanchett, an actress of extraordinary dramatic range and intelligence, the role of Hedda Gabler is, according to Variety." ... executed with impeccable pitch and tone." Sydney's Sunday Telegraph calls Blanchett's portrayal " ... full of nuance and pace, pathos and ill-concealed rage." The adaptation of Ibsen's play by Andrew Upton is, according to Variety. " ... [a] playful and gently contemporary interpretation of Hedda .. .a key to the production's success." Sydney's Sunday Telegraph comments that Robyn Nevin's direction is "clear, energized and aware of the demons a sensible marriage has unleashed in her anti-heroine." The Sydney Theatre Company (STC), established in 1978, is Australia's largest and pre-eminent state theater company. Led by Artistic Director and CEO Robyn Nevin, STC operates out of The Wharf(its home venue on Sydney's harbor), the new Sydney Theatre, and the Drama Theatre at the Sydney Opera House.

The bulk of research on women’s policing has focused on the growth of women in law enforcement, barriers, sexual harassment, gender differences, why women are deterred from law enforcement, physical limitations, and instruments used during the recruitment process, and the stress endured after entry into the profession. When looking at Black female officers’ lived experience and perceptions around mentoring; research is lacking. Eight Black female officers from the San Francisco Bay Area participated in this study. Findings revealed that all of the women have faced a recurring sense of discrimination, based on their gender. Many participants also suggested a culture in which women are viewed as less capable and, are, at times, less valued.
